Mamdani does not endorse Hochul but

here is the thing... Mamdani won a Democratic primary, whereas Hochul has not yet run in a Democratic primary.

That he isn't endorsing yet and focusing on his election (and not the election of Gov. Hochul's in a year) seems perfectly reasonable to me.

It isn't a double standard. We support Democrats, and Democrats support the winners of Democratic primaries... ... ...?

Had competition for union elections, but I wouldn't consider that a primary.

That doesn’t leave many Democrats.
